A lawyer walks into a podcast this week. Listen to this delightful conversation with Makda Fessahaye where we talk about how and when dreams begin … in her case, with an inciting incident across the world. This is yet another conversation where we see how our values determine the way we live and the choices we make. 

Listen as we talk about … 

  • How an experience for Makda in 7th grade set her on her path to law school (and so much more!) 
  • Why if you’re chasing a title, you may be setting yourself up for failure (and what to do instead!) 
  • How saying YES again and again leads to unexpected opportunities that can turn into dreams you didn’t know you had.
  • How we can turn the ‘imposter syndrome’ on its head, and how not to let it get the best of us (and also, a frank discussion, is it even REAL or worthy of our attention?) 
  • Why we (and especially women!) need to give ourselves flowers more often!
